Trip to the Museum of the Moving Image

The exhibit I enjoyed the most was the Nam Jun Paik exhibit where the artist created two figures standing alone on a table. What I enjoyed most about this exhibit is that I was able to interact with it. I had to swing the small lamp so that it would make the shadows of the figures move, as if they were dancing. This exhibit showed how light and objects interact with each other. I learned that not all objects need to be manipulated on camera, that objects can appear differently just based on lighting and angles. The movement of the objects' shadows changed direction according to which direction the lamp was being swung (side to side or front to back) . The Movement of the lighting played the major role in the way the shadows appeared to move. Moving Images can be created by, more than light but the angles in which they are being viewed from as well as the direction and speed they are moving at. All in all, I enjoyed the hands on experience of learning about moving images, and how images and props are used and manipulated in films; along with seeing the very moving images and the devices that were used to record and project them.
